During the morning rush hour, drivers heading down Daye Road in Taipei’s Beitou District spotted a pony trotting along the inner lane, as passing cars slowed down to avoid hitting it. Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that it was the same one that got loose back in May, making this the third time the pony been spotted on Taipei’s streets.

A black pony trots down the road as passing cars slow down to avoid it, either afraid of causing an accident or just to confirm what they’re seeing.

Commuters on their way to work captured footage of the pony, which appeared to go all the way from Daye Road to the seventh section of Chengde Road. Sharp-eyed netizens noticed it was the same pony that escaped back in May, and its leg appeared to be injured. Reporters went to find the owner.

Mr. Huang
Farm owner
During the typhoon a few days ago, a tree fell on the electric fence and he escaped all the way to Chengde Road. He has horseshoes. I thought it was the shoe, but it was actually this can. He was just standing innocently by the road as the police looked after him. I brought him home.

Sporting a handsome mane, the runaway known as Fuqi for Good Fortune is now quietly eating grass back at the farm. He was brought up to Beitou from Taitung at the beginning of May. The owner said he escaped twice before out of curiosity. This time, it was because of an unexpected accident.

Mr. Huang
Farm owner
Our priority for now is to fix the fence. If possible, I won’t rule out sending him back to his original farm.

With the help of bystanders who were able to soothe him, the pony calmed down and was led back to the farm by his owner. But after three escapes, the Taipei Animal Protection Office hit the owner with the maximum fine of NT$15,000 under the Animal Protection Act. The little pony’s unexpected stroll down the road gave himself, his owner, and commuters quite a scare!
